A Wednesday military statement said terrorist Naim Abbas was arrested after intensive surveillance and is currently being interrogated.

The Abdullah Azzam Brigades’ leader was Majed al-Majed who died earlier this month after being arrested in connection with bombings outside Iran Embassy in Beirut.

Some 25 people, including Iran’s cultural attaché to Beirut, were killed and 150 others injured in the attacks on November 19, 2013.
